Here is a great totally non-scientific view.  I once owned a Hassy with an
80mm lens and an R4 with a 50mm lens.  Looking through the viewfinder of
each with one eye and at the scene with the other - I found that the 80 was
practically an overlap of what I saw with my other eye.  I have noticed
this also with SLR's with about a 75-80mm lens.  Probably not worth 2 cents
